I’ve had it happen plenty of times on Saboteur, Experiment, Archive, Sentinel, and Renegade. To the point that I am very wary of fully random groups any more.

Experiment: any assasin and buying all buildables

My friend found it’s better to hold off on the OPs point run until you finish the first and last challenge (the one with the beacon and the one outside of Aria’s door). That way you’re not running into 100 OPs point level difficulty until you face Aria and it helps prevent the scenario you’ve just described. Aria’s fight won’t start until you’ve gone through the door, so that’s a good time to pick up any missing points.

Good points. I’ve actually traversed the entire map back to the start point before now - the server time is pretty generous, so you can do a LOT of exploring before facing the final battle.

While in theory I 100% agree with this (and have tried it) I find that people aren’t willing to go back for the ops points and just head through the door, negating the possibility of getting 100 ops. Even when your at 99 points.

The only reason I run the ops now is to get that commander loot pack. Unfortunately, I can’t trust people not to trigger the Aria fight before getting all the points, so I am the person the OP is referring to that is off on my own hunting.

I WANT to be helping in the fights, as that is the reason to play, but I want to make sure we get all the points as well. If I have to run off on my own to do that, so be it I guess.

It is for this reason I usually run the ops solo, even though I prefer to play with people. I can ask people to go for 100 points when it starts, but so few people use a mic that I have no idea what their intentions are (get all points or an A to B rush completion).

I wish ops points were strictly based off challenges instead of hunting for chests, that way, the team wouldn’t need to be fragmented.

I only play with friends, so I generally don’t have that issue. You might want to check out the Unofficial Discord channel to find fellow players so you can coordinate before you start the mission.

All of the peeps I enjoyed playing with went over to BF1…traitors. Left me here alone to defend the last star. Thanks for the tip though.

What platform are you playing on?
I only play the mission to get 100 OPs points. ^^

Likewise. If I don’t get 100 Ops points, I usually quit and retry (in private). The commander lootpack is where it’s at. I scavenge for those before moving on to the next area. It sucks when newbies do go on while I’m looking and start the next objective and end up dying or worse, failing a side objectives! (I’m looking at you Boombots and Assault Ship thingy).

I have a system for getting max Ops points, I do it to guarantee everyone ends up with 100 Ops when we get to the boss. No backtracking required.

If people are dying, it is probably because they are rushing encounters way quicker than they should be as taking that extra time to pick off enemies and opening chests will result in less deaths will likely net you with a few more levels than simply going straight to where the bullets are flying.

That being said, I mostly play private solo or with the other Aussies so no one has to deal with my filthy completionist self. :triumph:

The bane of my Operations. With no friends that enjoy farming the ops and not being able to trust people to be able to follow the side objectives and help find all the Ops, I now only do ops solo too. Solo Ops is honestly the best way to get about 100 ops, maybe at least a two man but its far easier solo.

You don’t have to deal with max 5 MX Elite Bots spawning in section 2 either!!

All true, but it’s just so…lonely. I don’t even need to talk, or be cuddled. It’s just nice knowing someone else is there, ya know.

Precisely! That’s-in my opinion and personal experience- the most irritating section with teammates b/c unlike Aria’s fight where its almost inevitable to get shot down when boxed in with tons of thrall that 1-hit KO 'nade you from every direction, you don’t HAVE to die! But some people like to stand out and get downed and expect us to Res them right in front of the elite bots. For the melees, I understand, but those with range and are reluctant to take cover

This. The only time I played in Group I called two friends to help me get the Miko skins. Or when a friend asked me to show the locations of chests with op points.
